Hello, new here and after a bit of advice!
I started clearing our small garden pond yesterday ready for winter. It’s full of plants and duckweed at the moment - and leaves from the enormous copper beech in the garden behind ours.
We’ve had overwintering frog tadpoles most years, this year I pond a number of newt tadpoles which is exciting but also a bit worrying - I’ve put back some of the some of the oxygenating plants (still loads in there) and left the rest on the side but the tadpoles seem at a very early stage of development.
Why are they so late and is there a chance they will overwinter?
